The 29-year-old's contract expires next summer but the Dutchman confirmed that there is an offer on the table to keep him at Craven Cottage.

"As you know, we talked to him and hopefully he will sign a contract to keep him here for the next three years," Jol told reporters. "If not, he's still our player because there is no club that has made an approach for him."

Dempsey has scored 22 goals this season in all competitions, including 16 in the Premier League, helping Fulham up to ninth as things stand.
